I never thought about sending school supplies to the grandkids but you are right, we can often get really cheap prices here so sending them in a flat rate box would be a wonderful way to help out the grandkids and their parents!Cash Only Livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13658816214856647685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4436155035740778098.post-34063884604144914542018-08-15T17:38:45.540-07:002018-08-15T17:38:45.540-07:00For my grandchildren in NYC, I shopped at a half-d...For my grandchildren in NYC, I shopped at a half-dozen places, getting pencils for one cent, 10 pencils, good ones, for ten cents. I could afford to put it, stuff it, into a USPS box and pay to mail it cheaper than she could purchase it. Her friends were shocked at prices I paid. I was appalled at what they needed. That daughter got new crayons, a couple of pencils, a notebook.<br /><br />My children did not automatically get new school clothes. They wore shorts for the first month or more. They wore clothes all summer, so they had plenty of outfits they had worn to nice places during the summer. No one got new shoes who did not need new shoes. Then, a few weeks later when the crowds subsided and sales were abundant, I bought things.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.com
